Coaching-Methoden sind offenbar dann besonders beliebt, wenn sie auf eine lange Tradition zurückblicken, vermutet unser Kolumnist Uwe P. Kanning. Doch welche Methode ist die richtige für welches Problem? Ein augenzwinkernder Überblick
The Acceptance of Climate Adaptation Measures in the Event Industry : A Conceptual and Empirical Overview
No full textWhile recent studies have demonstrated that events are fundamentally climate sensitive, this seems to not be fully considered in event research or corporate event practice. Thus, this study aims to identify the influencing factors that affect the acceptance of climate adaptation measures among decision-makers in the event industry. The analysis was divided into three main parts. First, the existing literature related to climate change in an events context was reviewed. Using 15 semi structured interviews, the findings from this review were then critically discussed with stakeholders in Germany involved in event planning. Finally, explicit climate adaptation measures were proposed and discussed. Based on all findings, there appears to be a low level of awareness of and interest in climate adaptation amongst German event industry players. There is an imminent need for further research on climate adaptation and for decision-makers to better prepare for climate change in order to counteract resulting negative impacts
Die Ausbreitungstendenz von Zukunftsbaumarten in Deutschland
No full textAufgrund vermuteter, negativer Folgen, welche von der Etablierung und Ausbreitung gebietsfremder Art ausgehen können, ist um die Verwendung von Zukunftsbäumen im städtischen Raum eine Diskussion entstanden. Im Rahmen einer Forschungsarbeit an der Hochschule Osnabrück wurde daher untersucht, wie die Ausbreitungstendenz einzelner Arten von Mitarbeiter*innen in Grünflächenämtern und Botanischen Garten eingeschätzt wird

No full textEvaluation of neuropathic pain characteristics in persons with spine-related neck-arm pain (Poster)
No full textBackground
Spine-related neck-arm pain is heterogenous in its clinical presentation and pain-types (nociceptive/neuropathic). A clinical-framework for spine-related pain differentiates between (i) somatic referred pain, ii) heightened nerve mechanosensitivity, both conditions are per definition nociceptive pain (NoP) and iii) radicular pain as well as iv) radiculopathy. Radicular pain with radiculopathy meets the criteria for neuropathic pain (NeP).
Purpose
The aim was to investigate if NeP-characteristics differ between the group somatic referred pain/heightened nerve mechanosensitivity (group A) and the group radicular pain/radiculopathy (group B), using the NeP screening tool painDETECT (PD-Q). For the purpose of this study, group A was defined as having NoP, and group B as having NeP.
Methods
One hundred and thirteen persons with unilateral spine-related neck-arm pain were clinically assessed using bedside neurological examination and classified into subgroups A and B. Maximal pain area (MPA), average pain severity during the last 4 weeks, sleep quality (numerical-rating-scale), symptom duration (weeks), neck disability index (NDI) and PD-Q were recorded. The PD-Q includes seven weighted sensory descriptors (burning, tingling/pricking, light touch, electric shocks, cold/heat pain, numbness, pressure). The lowest weight is 0 (no experience of the sensation) and the highest weight is 5 (sensation is felt very strongly). PD-Q classifies patients into 3 groups, unlikely (0-12), unclear (13-18) and likely NeP (19-38). For this study, a score ≤ 18 was defined as unlikely and >19 as likely NeP.
Results
Based on the clinical-framework, 52 persons were classified into group A (37 females; mean age 46,1 ± 11,8), of which 48 (91,3%) were classified by PD-Q as unlikely NeP. Sixty-one persons were clinically classified into group B (34 females, mean age 48,7 ± 11,3), of which PD-Q classified 14 (23%) as likely NeP. 84,6% in group A reported the neck as MPA. In group B 63,9% indicated the arm as MPA. There were significant differences in symptom duration (A: mean 207,8 ± 272,3; B: 64,2 ± 154,1, p=< 0,001) and the following PD-Q descriptors: burning (A: 15,6%, B: 38,% p=0,005), tingling/pricking (A: 39,1%, B: 79,6%, p= < 0,001) and numbness (A: 20,3%, B: 38,8% p=0,032). All other descriptors showed no statistically significant difference.
Conclusions
The majority of people in group A (75%) reported the neck as their MPA whereby the majority of persons in group B (61%) reported arm pain. Typical NeP characteristics were significantly more common in group B compared to group A, supporting the suggestion that the clinical presentations of radicular pain/radiculopathy are likely associated with the presence of NeP. The PD-Q identified 89.1% of the clinically classified NoP subjects as unlikely neuropathic, but only 24.5% of those in the radicular/radiculopathy group as having likely NeP, suggesting low diagnostic accuracy in this population.
Implications
It is important to know whether a person with spine-related arm pain has NeP, in order to implement appropriate treatment. The location of the MPA and reported pain descriptors may assist clinicians in the diagnostic work-up of persons with spine-related neck-arm pain
Pain Neuroscience Education - An important part of a modern and evidence-based management in performing artists' health (Abstract)
No full textRationale
Performing artists are often confronted with long-term pain, which can have a variety of effects such as posture restrictions, limited performance or, in extreme cases, the end of their career. Comprehensive therapy management is therefore very important to prevent or at least reduce these limitations. In modern pain science, Pain Neuroscience Education (PNE) is becoming increasingly important. Numerous research studies show that patients who receive neurophysiological training about the origins and effects of pain have better outcomes than patients without this type of training.
Purpose
The purpose of this presentation is to present the current status on the topic of PNE and to transfer this to the performing artists. Different approaches will be shown as to what such an education could look like.
Methods
Various pain models are presented and classified into the current state of pain research. It will then be shown that PNE is evidence based and positive effects have been proven by numerous studies. It also presents what a PNE could look like in a specific patient application.
Results
PNE is an important therapeutic part in the management of performing artists with pain and should always be considered. PNE is simple to use and easily for patients to understand.
Conclusions
Even if the physiology of pain is a complex process, a therapist can explain to the patient in simple words how and why their pain arises and thereby make an important contribution to patient management. This gives patients the opportunity to better classify and understand their pain and thus enable them to develop better management in stressful situations.
Educational Objectives
At the end of the presentation, the participants will be able to…
1. describe different pain models
2. know the principles of PNE
3. can perform PN
